Photogram 1939

"Photogram" by László Moholy-Nagy, created in 1939, is a captivating example of the photogram technique, also known as a cameraless photograph. The artwork features a composition of paperclips and objects placed directly on light-sensitive paper, resulting in a ghostly, abstract image against a dark background. Moholy-Nagy, a pioneer of abstract photography and a member of the Bauhaus movement, embraced this technique to explore light and form, creating a unique and visually engaging aesthetic. The interplay of light and shadow, along with the stark shapes of the objects, creates a dynamic and abstract composition.
